IHC admits contempt of court petition against Nawaz Sharif

A contempt of court petition against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was admitted by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday.
The petition states that Sharif committed contempt of court, during a speech in Lahore on August 25. It further claims that Sharif spoke of the judiciary’s link with power, which falls under the contempt of court law. The hearing will be held next month.
